Describe how you plan to assess student learning and why you're taking this approach.
I plan to assess my students through both formal and informal assessment. I would like to give them quick feedback in both cases. Informal assessment is more of a less stress environment, where I could make sure that they are keeping up on work and gauge their understanding. I would do this through in-class assignments, homework, labs, quizzes and activities. Formal assessment would give them a time to formally study and perhaps grasp concepts. It would be nice to see statistic-wise as well, how they did and what they did and what they didn't understand. I feel that both formal and informal are necessary and useful in different ways.
Describe how you're choosing to grade your students' performance and why.
I am planning to grade my student's performance in the same manner as my CT. Both she and I prefer that the grading system isn't changed because it is department-wide grading. Tests, Quizzes, Homeworks, and Labs all get a grade, usually 10-100 and their final average is just what they earned/total points possible. When looking back at assignments and grades, sometimes some are scaled for whatever reason.
